4 THE MAGNET Seniors Enjoy Overnight Outing The Seniors closed their books and pulled out their swimming suits Saturday, May 23, as they relaxed in the heaven-like atmos- phere of the Brodeurs' cottage in Wilbraham. The group including Sandy Cone, Pat Dunn, Shirley Edwards, Margot Fisher, Rue Fors- land, Ann Hanifin, Judith Hill, Folly Hug- gan, Ruth McCarthy, Elizabeth Putnam, Betty Thomas, Nancy Vail, their faculty ad- viser, Miss Briggs, and Miss Rice, all piled into three cars after the morning study hall, and drove off, leaving many looking en- viously after them. On the way, they stopped for a snack at Howard Johnson's to assuage their appe- tites, but when they arrived at the cottage, the wonderful' lunch of ham, salad, potato chips, milk, and coke was readily devoured. Sunbathing and swimming were the main activities, until a Turkey dinner with pota- toes, peas, and a delicious pecan pie feh, Ruej appeared. Dr. and Mrs. Brodeur dropped in just before dinner fbringing the home-made piej to see how the outing was coming along.

Stevenson of Mount Holyoke College has been conducting classes at MacDult1e in in- creasing comprehension, improving rate of speed in reading, more accurate oral reading, and to some extent vocabulary-building. With her extensive training in this held, she has aided many students in improving their reading etticiency to such an extent that their school work has greatly advanced. She has done a remarkable job here in pre- paring girls for college and more extensive work. No girl has failed to respond to her training. Mrs. Stevenson's course concen- trated mostly on comprehension, and speed in reading, and every girl showed in varying degrees signs of improvement in both. The reading rate improvements average 200 words more per minute with no girl improv- ing less than 100 words per minute. The greatcst improvement was 450 words per minute. In dealing with Eomprehension, Mrs. Stevenson proved that almost without ex- ception, there was a decided increase in com- prehension with a rise in reading speed. The success of such a course has been shown to be indisputable, and everyone at MacDul'he hopes that plans for an even more extensive course of this kind can be worked out for later years.
